Answer:

x = 8 or

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Completing The Square:</h2>

x² - 6x - 16 = 0

Here,

a = 1

b = -6

c = -16

Now,

x² - 6x + [6/2(1)]² - [6/2(1)]² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (6/2)² - (6/2)² - 16 = 0

x² - 6x + (3)² - (3)² - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 9 - 16 = 0

(x - 3)² - 25 = 0

(x - 3)² = 25

x - 3 = +-√25

x - 3 = +- 5

x = 3 +- 5

x = 3 + 5 or x = 3 - 5

x = 8 or x = -2

Given point B is located at

ELEN [110]

Answer: $\Large\boxed{Point~B'~=~(-4,~-2)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

Point B = (-2, -4)

Reflection line: y = x

Concept:

When reflecting over the line y = x, the position of y and x in the original coordinate switches places.

This is because it is " y = x ", assuming that they could interchange

Find the coordinate of Point B'

Original (x, y) = (-2, -4)

Point B' = (x', y') = (y, x) = $\Large\boxed{(-4,~-2)}$

Please refer to the attachment below for a graphical understanding

Hope this helps!! :)
